Default 25 years in space?

I hope this question is not too far afield (or too morbid), but does anyone know what would happen to a dead body after 25 years of drifting in space inside a spaceship? I am writing a story that includes the possibility of a astronaut dying while on a mission and his spaceship drifting for 25 years before it is found. I would appreciate any suggestions about how a body would decay in this situation.
